Hello,

I'm wondering, is MySQL support planned for patchwork-next? It seems to
me that patchwork-next does not work with MySQL at all, despite the
documentation suggesting that it does. I gave implementing it a shot,
but there are a couple of problems:
- Text fields default to VARCHAR(255). Index key length has to be
  specified for the unlimited TEXT type. bun does not support that in
  the model field tags. So changing unique/indexed fields to the TEXT
  type requires creating the indexes manually.
- RETURNING is not supported
- CONFLICT targets are not supported

To be fair, while working with Patchwork I thought that it would be
pretty convenient to support only a single database.
patchwork-next requires a migration either way.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if projects that use Patchwork right
now would be happy if MySQL support was dropped from 4.x.
Migrating a small database may be easy, but having to set up a larger
cluster again...

Regards,
Franek Stachura
